Given his head gear the medical tech is either fresh from the shower, straightening his hair, or anxious he’ll be late to his job as chaffing dish tender at the Stampede Buffet.
She forgot to mention cleaning out the dessert buffet, also when Marlene and/or Verla stop by every day for coffee. YUP that’s almost all day. Wait till 9? when do they eat, 8?
High sugar levels don’t need sweets to get it there. They probably were at the buffet and decided to get the free checkup, then get the free stuff. I am running out of brain bleach. lol
You guys are being harsh on the Penny’s, they often eat sweets just once a day, they start in the morning and it goes until bed time. And that is why they have such a sweet disposition all the time.
I would say it is a good thing they got hooked on sugar, because it is just one step from alcohol in the body, so things could be much worse.
While today’s comic is truly funny as is typically the case…. it is also a somewhat sad reflection on society. In regards to the Penny’s issues with high BP and high glucose, many, many of us in society are in much the same boat because (in my opinion) the oversaturation of our society with too calorie dense, too readily available, foods. I used to be significantly overweight and it took a very long time for me to really think through and realize that much of society’s norms in regards to eating were not helpful for me. I began to change my eating patterns to more whole foods (less calorie dense), and significantly decreased intake of high fat foods and processed (highly calorie dense) foods. It was difficult to do, as the other way of eating was more convenient and easier, but now I have a normal weight, and I actually eat more food in a day than I ever did when I was much heavier.
Back in the 70s, a woman’s club I was in helped Huntington Beach with a city wide blood pressure screening. We were at a Tech Co, when this large woman came rushing in. Her Blood Pressure was something like 190/120. the Doc explained that she needed to check in with her doctor like today! She replied that she “didn’t have time” and rushed off again. Left us all speechless.Goes to show, if you are clueless, you haven’t a clue. The Pennys will never change and when one of them drops dead, the other will not guess why!
I’ll be getting results on my blood tests (since 3 months ago) next Monday. My doc is on vacation this week. The only change I made was dropping restrictions on wheat, and deciding to try for even lower fat intake.
Otherwise, my cholesterol had actually INCREASED as a vegetarian (our bodies create their own) and I am trying to do more frequent slow breathing exercises for my BP. I was usually around 170 to 180 when I started last Feb. It is lower, but not as much as I want (but I will NOT use meds).

Does she consume a lot of sweets?

The Pennys are responsible for putting hostess twinkies back in play.

The only reason they’re there is due to the word “Free”. Plus it looks like Burl is gonna make a move on the supply table.

I’m surprised no one commented on Burl’s shirt: “100% Veg” (not vegetarian, but vegetable OIL to fry everything possible)!

Somehow Gunther (over at Luann comic) got hold of one of Joy’s GBWOF! They are really spreading! Help!

Sorry, but I need to mention that blood sugar can’t be measured on your arm. I don’t want to think about how he did measure it.

It would never occur to either of them that dessert isn’t a mandatory part of a meal.
